Outdated SoulCalibur 2 ini.

[dvessel]

Fast texture cache samples and immediate xfb has no ill effects.

This is a fighting game so having the option to enable immediate xfb would be nice.

It was bulk added in 3fbb9d6, so I have no clue why it was added.

UseXFB = True and UseRealXFB = False was replaced with ImmediateXFBEnable = False in c580104, but I'm not sure if the old values made sense. The wiki links to a bug that says the copy filter is used for fades, but I don't know what the old UseXFB setting did (and I think immediate XFB still works with the copy filter).

I do see one other issue:

dolphin/Data/Sys/GameSettings/GRS.ini

Line 1 in 0c09eb5

# GRSEAF, GRSPAF - SOULCALIBUR2

should instead be

# GRSEAF, GRSPAF, GRSJAF - Soulcalibur II

I’ve forced these settings for a while and it has never giving me problems. The fades still work.

Fixed the game id’s and title.

Why not just delete the INI file altogether? It's essentially empty and not overriding anything after dropping SafeTextureCacheColorSamples and ImmediateXFBEnable. AFAICT, all INI files shipped with Dolphin overrides something, there are no empty INIs...

[JosJuice]

Yes, if you're going to be removing both of those settings you should delete the file entirely.

[dvessel]

I missed that. I was skimming through the other ini files with a bunch of headers with empty values so I just deleted the values.

Does the updater correctly handle deleting files?

Does the updater correctly handle deleting files?

Yep, it does.

[Pokechu22]

Aright, this change is probably good to go then (but I'll hold back on approving it since I don't own SoulCalibur 2 myself).

Don’t think this is a popular title so here’s a video addressing the issue tracker

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The fade-in and fade-out effects in the game don't show up. In certain sequences, the game uses fade-to-black and fade-from-black effects when transitioning between scenes. Two examples I can think of:

• The title screen of the game. After the opening FMV sequence to the game is skipped or ends, the title screen pops out of nowhere.
• In an Arcade Mode run, after the victory sequence, the screen immediately jumps from the shot of the pose

What did you expect to happen instead?

• The title screen should fade in from black, rather than the jarring transition that it is now
• Similarly, in the arcade mode transition to the next fight, there should be a quick fade-to-black at the end of the victory sequence, followed by a quick fade-in to the next match's versus screen.

Everything fades into each other as expected.

Seems to work fine.
